Houston Winter Intensive with Tomas Howlin
Hosted by and in partnership with Sabra Yarbrough
A unique event designed for the Houston tango community
of dancers...
http://tomashowlin.squarespace.com/
http://www.sabratango.com/
This winter in Houston, Tomas is excited to present a new
concept for learning and expanding your tango. There will
be a 5 week intensive study, consisting of two weekend
workshops joined by a series of follow up material and
practice sessions. The material presented will cover
the core elements of a fundamental base structure to
dance the tango: body talk and connection, sending and
receiving steps, direction and dynamics, and core elements
of musicality.
During Part One (December 9-11), we will set the groundwork
for expanding vocabulary in tango. In Part Two (January
13-15), we will develop exciting new steps that are
equally innovative and useful in a social setting. Each
class will offer an exclusive and specially produced
video review with demonstrations and class notes. Reviews
of classes, follow-up exercises, and how to combine the
learned material in new ways will also be available for
purchase on video.
Please come to dance, grow, and evolve with us. We
guarantee the best social experience of the holiday season,
tango included!
Discount pricing available until November 20. Classes
limited and are expected to sell out.
$90/person for full weekend of 5 classes plus supplementary
material. Must register by November 20.
$120/person after November 20 if not sold out.
